Passengers

Wednesday, July 8. 2009

From the passengers’ point of view, driving has always been safe and easy, up until I have become a driver myself. Most of the time, passengers have no access to the minds of the driver while he is driving.

Over the past month, I have had thoughts such as, “that was close!”, and “a little more and I’ll crash”. Driving is, in my opinion, rather dangerous if the driver was distracted. Personally, I believe that as drivers, we go though many close shaves from accidents. The fact that an accident happens is because both parties reacted too slow or is not responsible enough in avoiding a crash. Oh course, there will be drivers who pass the burden of safety to other drivers by driving recklessly and carelessly.

I’ll always be on a look out for dangerous drivers and stay far away from them. They are an accident waiting to happen.

from what ive seen, its not the people who drive recklessly who cause trouble

its the people who cannot wake up their idea

even if u removed all the speedsters and lane jugglers, theres still idiots who dunno how to keep to their lane while going at 50, or jokers who reverse and never look behind, best is people who change lane and never check mirrors ...

accidents dont happen cause people speed, if everyone drove at the speed limit but followed safety procedures like checking blind spots, im pretty sure the accident rate will drop cue autobahn.

Those people shouldn’t be allowed to drive in the first place.

Agreed, I don’t believe speeding is a major cause of accidents too.

i feel that ppl get into accidents for a few reasons:

they are not focused... sleepy maybe
anyhow cut and change lane, even if they signal, they still anyhow cut...
anyhow change lane and cut is still what i think the main reason of accidents are...

beg to differ

dui accounts for the majority of accidents locally

its a good thing we dont have 4 way junctions as well

Hmm, what’s ‘dui’ and 4-way junctions?

#3.1 iphoting on 2009-07-11 10:47 (Reply)

driving under influence of alcohol or drugs

our usual traffic light intersections except without traffic lights, normal right of way rules apply

4 way junctions are the most common areas where RTAs happen in america
